I always like to remind people “when you pay with your card, you help finance the forever war”.


Coins/cash have been around for thousands of years, and war since time immemorial. Cards aren’t making us do anything we haven’t already done since, well, forever.


Exactly, the same kind of warmongering was enacted under livestock barter economies.

The one thing I like about cashless is that it makes it just that tiny bit more difficult for bad actors who accrued their money through nefarious means.


Using any form of fiat currency does the same.
